Rewrite the Technological Landscape

In the semiconductor turmoil in Taiwan Province, most companies have chosen to forbear, but not all companies will choose to forbear. This is also a normal thing. After all, not every businessman has the same idea. The country is against it.

Especially for some enterprises with less external restraint or in urgent need of development, they will have more ideas.

At the end of November, Dafeng Group ushered in two guests, they are Huang Chongren, chairman of Powerchip Semiconductor, and Wu Mingqiu, chairman of Macronix Electronics.

In 2005, Powerchip Semiconductor jumped to the third largest chip company in the world, and it is also a semiconductor company in Taiwan province that the public is more familiar with. The development of Powerchip Semiconductor is largely due to the cooperation with Neon Country. Mitsubishi Electric of Hongguo concluded a strategic alliance in technology, production and sales, and later cooperated with Elpida, a major DRAM manufacturer in Nihonguo, to produce and sell the most cutting-edge DRAM products.

In 2005, it joined hands with Renesas Technology of Neon Country. In 2006, it became the main foundry partner. Two years later, they established a joint venture company Renesas SP. up.

Recently, Powerchip Semiconductor announced its intention to open a factory in mainland China, but according to past history, the backstage province soon suppressed Powerchip Semiconductor's demand and did not allow him to set up a factory in mainland China.

As for Macronix Electronics, it is the world's leading manufacturer of non-volatile memory solutions and the world's largest read-only memory manufacturing company.

Macronix Electronics is one of the few companies in the world that can provide a complete series of Serial Flash products from 512Kbit to 256Mbit, and has extremely small-sized flash products, which fully meet the needs of portable electronic products that are becoming thinner, lighter and smaller. In the next few years, with the rapid development of flash and mobile phones, Macronix will have a bright future.

Another interesting thing that Macronix Electronics has done is that they have developed their own production control system Super Nova since 2000, which is an intelligent manufacturing system.

Macronix Electronics also has two very important allies, namely IBM and Macromedia, the creator of flash that just joined the Dafeng Group.

As for why Powerchip Semiconductor and Macronix Electronics came together, it is because the two companies are discussing cooperation recently. If they continue to follow the previous history, the two companies will reach an agreement next month, and Powerchip Semiconductor will purchase The wafer plant of Macronix Electronics, the two companies will also reach an in-depth cooperative relationship.

In the morning, Meng Qian personally took the two of them to visit the Dafeng Group, chatting and showing off their muscles, and went to the company's dining room for lunch at noon.

"What do you two think of Dafeng Group?" Meng Qian asked with a smile after taking his seat.

"As rumored, it is full of vitality and possibility." Huang Chongren officially responded.

"I listen to good words every day. Both of you have seen the world's major IT giants. I want to hear your real thoughts." Meng Qian said bluntly.

The two looked at each other, and it was still Huang Chongren who spoke, "Just from the observations this morning, Dafeng Group is indeed a company that is hard to find fault with."

"Is that so?" Meng Qian straightened the tableware in front of him, "Are you two willing to cooperate with such a company?"

Although Powerchip Semiconductor and Macronix are companies with a market value of tens of billions, they are both younger brothers in front of Dafeng Group, so Meng Qian took the initiative without hesitation. The mutual understanding and emotional communication were all completed in the morning , this meal Meng Qian is rushing to talk about business.

Huang Chongren and Wu Mingqiu are also very used to this kind of negotiation atmosphere. This time, Wu Mingqiu said, "If there is an opportunity to cooperate with the Dafeng Group, it is naturally a dream."

"Okay, since the two of you have the intention, then I will speak directly." Meng Qian continued to be strong, "Mr. Huang, Powerchip Semiconductor has been wanting to set up a factory in mainland China since last year, but was hindered by the province. Right?"

Huang Chongren nodded. This matter was on the news, so everyone knew about it.

"Our company intends to expand into fabs next year. If Mr. Huang has an idea, we can set up a joint venture company and build a factory in the name of the joint venture company. On the one hand, Powerchip Semiconductor can successfully set up a factory in the mainland. On the other hand, Dafeng Group can also use your company's experience to avoid some detours, and at the same time, everyone shares the risk, I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks?"

Huang Chongren hesitated to speak, because he knew very well that if he wanted to build a factory in the mainland smoothly, then the joint venture company must be dominated by Dafeng Group, and he is also a minority shareholder. In fact, Powerchip Semiconductor really wants to build a factory in the mainland, but If you really can't come, you won't be able to come, and it's not to the point where you have to make it.

But in the morning, Meng Qian has been flexing his muscles. Huang Chongren realized how many benefits he has in cooperating with Dafeng Group, such as customer resources, cooperation resources, technical resources, capital resources, etc. This is a common phenomenon in shopping malls. It was taken away by the big ship, but you can really get the benefits of the big ship.

Moreover, Meng Qian didn't intend to acquire Powerchip Semiconductor and start a company together, which made Huang Chongren a little entangled.

Seeing this, Meng Qian deliberately asked, "Mr. Huang has any concerns, but it's okay to say."

"President Meng misunderstood." Huang Chongren subconsciously denied, "I was just wondering if there are more cooperation angles between us and the Dafeng Group."

Meng Qian looked at Huang Chongren and smiled slightly, then turned his attention to Wu Mingqiu, "Speaking of more cooperation angles, I just discovered today that there is actually a lot of room for cooperation between us and Macronix."

Wu Mingqiu nodded. He only realized today that under the deliberate guidance of Meng Qian in the morning, Wu Mingqiu saw the layout and goals of Dafeng Group in the fields of mobile phones, digital cameras, and tablets. Dafeng Group will definitely be a major customer of Macronix Electronics in the future. Moreover, Wu Mingqiu only found out today that the Dafeng Group had already started research and development of smart manufacturing in Russia, which led to the same behavior as Macronix.

Coupled with the cooperation between Dafeng Group and Macromedia on flash development, the cooperation between Dafeng Group and Toshiba on flash memory, and the cooperation between Dafeng Group and IBM on chips, Wu Mingqiu realized the cooperation between Dafeng Group and himself. The space is huge.

Under Meng Qian's careful preparation, the cooperation between the two companies and Dafeng Group did not have much hindrance. As for the lithography machine, Dafeng Group was naturally very happy to sell it to them.

For Meng Qian, this juncture is to delete and select companies. Although they are somewhat helpless when they come to Dafeng Group, it is better than those companies that are going to die. And Dafeng Group has a lithography machine. The next step To gradually go deeper into the semiconductor industry, such as fabs, the mainland is still a bit weak, and Meng Qian plans to take the lead by himself, so he needs the cooperation of some companies to speed up the pace. It is too difficult to start from scratch.

In addition to some companies in Taiwan, there are also some companies in Neon Country who can't stand the unfairness of ASML's queuing and come to Dafeng Group, such as Fujitsu. In addition, Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor also comes to Dafeng Group to purchase lithography Even Dongbu HiTek, the largest pure-play wafer foundry in Korea, and Tower Jazz, an Israeli chip manufacturer, couldn't help but chat with Dafeng Group.

In the semiconductor revolution brought about by this lithography machine, few people can really sit still.

Until mid-to-late December, those who couldn’t sit still took action, and those who wanted to endure it did so. From the perspective of the entire industry, the competition between Dafeng Group and ASML was settled. Many experts They all said that it will be very important for the development of Dafeng Group's lithography machine whether more companies in Huaxia will stand up in the future, because the low-end and mid-end lithography machines are already a big market for China's own digestion and digestion, but high-end lithography machines , the current domestic digestion is not very large.

Just when the market was about to calm down, a big rock suddenly hit the water, making the market turbulent again.

On December 20, Canon announced the mass production of immersion lithography machines.
